Isn’t it funny what you find on Twitter? I was searching for my friend @kilu_kitu but typed in @Kilakitu. Which led me to these* magnificent Kenyan cowboy shirts. Western shirts upcycled from secondhand African clothes… aren’t they the best? Is anyone else seeing shades of Comme and Dries? (more…)
A timely tweet last week from Tank magazine’s Caroline Issa (@CaroIssa) proclaimed, ‘RM by Roland Mouret wants men in twinsets’. Well stone me if I haven’t had a blog post waiting in the wings for that very moment. I have been harping on about twinsets for ever, and here’s why. (more…)
…there’s a clearance sale. I know! I have already chosen my top picks on Cocosa.com(sign up with invite code ‘Disneyrollergirl’ to see my choices as June’s guest editor) and they include Luella’s cat-eye sunnies for £45 and a Graeme Black dress for *gasp* £99. (more…)
I have heard so much about the benefits of FitFlops that when I was offered a free trial, I couldn’t say no. I can’t get on with toe posts so I opted for a sandal style FitFlop that reminded me of those Reef Brazils in the 90s.
The shoes are certainly extremely comfortable. The problem is, in order to enjoy their workout benefits, you need to wear them for proper outside-the-house walking, not just shuffling from one room to another – they’re not slippers. However, therein lies the problem – they’re just so aesthetically displeasing, there’s no way I could be seen dead in them. Solution? I propose a fantasy hybrid. I don’t see why we can’t marry the technology of a FitFlop with the design of something cool like a brothel creeper. You have the chunkiness of the sole right there, just add a pointy upper, some snazzy detailing and you’re good to go. How about it Marcia?
